I don't really get how Psycho Pass is psudeo-scifi. I don't understand why it has to gratuitous a la Mardock Scramble just because it's anime.

I'll be fair I liked the one titled "Negima?!". Whoever did that one, it wasnt that bad.
However its definitely nothing special but I did like it enough to buy it.

Pseudo was a bad word. I should have said soft.
OH, I'm not implying it should have such filth in it, but that it's something I already expect from such material.
I used to be with you, outside of the Shaft thing (I've not seen the "movie", but the OADs were mostly genuinely pretty good, and I thought the TV show was not-terrible on it's own merits), but after the way that Akamatsu ended the manga, I kind of feel it got what it deserved in hindsight. He blew away an awful lot of fan goodwill with that ending.

Them cliches. Stubborn, coward, arrogant little boy teaches older men life lessons.

Sounds like a great idea for a crossover. YUA ladies arresting RKB fans.
I think Akamatsu needs to draw a full-blown shounen for a little while. At least if only to get him to figure out how long he's supposed to be pacing his adventure arcs.
He should still include cute girls, of course.
Yeah, I definitely need to watch Terra e...
I'll give a big boost to its position on the backlog.
The same was done to Gunslinger Girl which I'm starting today thanks to your impressions!
Being Supido Cart is suffering.
LOL
I love these impressions, classic DTL.
It wasn't bad, it's just that the last few fights in the show looked better, and the 1999 series did a slightly better job with this fight, although that can be explained with the fact that it was the last episode of the TV broadcast.
huh? no complaints that the male characters look like fujoshi bait?
maybe everyone looks good in the future with controlled calorie intake!

Unlike everything else Gunslinger Girl has fantastic production values.
That would be pretty awesome.

This show has been in a slump ever since the tests were done with. There's simply a lack of direction on where the plot is gonna go after Hibito launches off. That it remains enjoyable despite its purposelessness is credit to its great characterisation.

IIRC episode 11 has some sweet Hironori Tanaka sakuga, probably the best thing that happened in the entire show.
Yeah, I noticed that, really looking forward to it.
Yeah, that definitely didn't read like a oneshot.
Terra e is a fantastic show that was sadly overlooked since it aired in one of the better anime seasons of recent times (Spring 07), hope you enjoy it.

Alright, so there's going to be a second season for both Ro-Kyou-Bu and Railgun? This is great news! I wonder how long Railgun's second season is going to be, since the first one was two cours.
I'm also surprised so many Japanese dropped OniAi so early. It's definitely one of the more entertaining shows this season.

I'm more curious as to who is going to direct Railgun - it kind of seems beneath Nagai at this point.

So happy for Railgun S2 as well. Index was trash (like almost solely because of Index herself), but I really enjoyed Railgun a lot. It was like K-On but with an actually interesting cast of girls that were fun to watch and interspersed with some cool fights here and there.
I admire your resolve. Sticking with the Jets and Ro Kyu Bu takes determination.
You have my respect.

That may be what finally pushes Evilore to purge AnimeGaf from existence.
Sukitte Ii na yo #3
This is getting interesting now. Unlike that other shoujo, this is actually, well, shoujo. The characters are believable, there's drama (or soon to be drama) and, most importantly, the main character's thoughts and monologues actually develop the character. Instead of blabbering about trivial stuff, you get to hear her thought process. That is what makes characters interesting.
It has a decent supporting cast as well. They're not all friendly towards each other, or are being friendly for superficial reasons. They have their ulterior motives for their actions, which reflects actual human behaviour. You can't judge a book by its cover as they say. The main love interest is a bit of an enigma, still, but that just pulls me in. Colour me impressed.
Looking forward to the next episode.
Does this happen in real life?

At least she isn't voiced by Aya Hirano.

That's shaft .. Shaft did all the oavs , the movies and the alternate universe anime (negima!?)
True it didn't end as i hoped but it was still a very nice ride..there are plenty of nice parts that needed an anime adaptation and i was entertained untill the end .
However the mundo mundicus oavs are garbage incarnate..so many missed opportunities.
If xebec didn't do such an awefull job with the first anime all of this wouldn't have happenned. ( at least not that bad )
But then you have people like me who actually live nearby members of this thread and are too shy to ever meet them.
Haha, gonna be a while yet before it's on TV I think.
Daw!
I don't think I no anyone who watches Anime with any sort of regularity, at least not knowingly. The closest is a friend from college who I knew watched Bleach, long before I ever started. Pretty sure that's as far as his interest extends, though. Shame.
Damn you Americans, and your regional proximity!
Yep, new thread smell. Yuck.
If I met you I swear I would hug you. With permission obviously.
You seem huggable.
But yeah Im definitely not on the shy side. I used to be, about fifteen years ago. working and college changed that. Now Im pretty much a crazy extrovert and a loudmouth. When I arrive somewhere, people know it.
I would hug you, too. I like hugging.
Magi - Episode 3
I'm really not feeling this adaptation so far. The motivations of the characters, the handling of the narrative, everything just feels so marginalized compared to the manga I know and love. It's really quite disappointing. They rushed through the dungeon arc in just 3 episodes, and I feel the climax has no weight at all. It just feels like they're going through the motions to get this stuff over with because they have no love for it at all. Sad.
The action was pretty good though. This show doesn't disappoint when it comes to the animation and the backgrounds, but the writing and direction are really dragging it down. I really hope it somehow gets better when they're done rushing through stuff, but somehow I doubt so...

Code:Breaker - Episode 3
This show is really hilarious. Could well be the best action comedy of the season! I honestly don't know how much of it is intentional, or what is from the manga, since all I'm watching is the anime, but damn this is some funny stuff. Every time from Sakura is a new level of self-parody, and the entire narrative is just so over the top it's hard not to just sit back and enjoy the entertainment.
This week has a pretty solid balance of what made the first two episodes so fun - terrible moralistic dialogue from Sakura, Ogami being #2cool4school and #2bad2edgy, bad guys burning, and a random ridiculous action sequence out of nowhere. The show continues to feel more and more like a lost action series from days of yore, when more anime was just about guys fucking shit up in ridiculous ways.
I'm really surprised at how much I'm enjoying this. It makes no sense!

OniAi?
Why of course, ToloveRu Dar- No can't do it, not even in jest.

Although so far it's a tossup between it, Chu2Byou, PSYCHO-PASS at the far end
But it's not, that's the beauty! The complete subversion by the brother in rebuking her advances every single time without fail

I kinda liked the show in the first few episodes, weird people, interesting prison, a lot of blood. But as the show progressed it became apparent how shallow the characters and story are. The Shiro/Ganta relationship was never explained outside some flashbacks to their childhood. The rebelling support characters are there for no reason. Even their leader, who I can't sympathize with, serves no purpose to the story.
Its filled with the anime cliches. Ganta is a boy who always stands up, no matter how weak he is. The story, a tragic incident happens some years ago, few people get superpowers, and then a story gets wrapped around it. Reminds me of another dumb shitty show: Guilty Crown.
Everything was just so simple and shallow.
A 4/10.
